Still trying to navigate my way around here. Can't seem to locate the other posts regarding "Fetching". I made several pair of Fetching before I decided I liked them longer. On the other hand, I made two pairs of "Dashing" and think they're way too long. I haven't tried making them shorter yet. But I really like both patterns.

I like the blue/green ones shown at the link you posted, but I haven't tried making a pr. with the fingers knitted in like that yet. I think I could handle it though, even as a beginner.

My husband does wear the pair of "Dashing" I made him, but mostly in the house in our chilly computer room.

I'm not sure how to organize a KAL, but if someone else would like to do it, I'll participate. However, this pattern only takes a couple of days to make. It's very easy. (I would like to try a shorter version too.)

As I said, I would eliminate several of the plain rows between the end of the cable and the thumb, to shorten them by quite a bit. (Mine turned out at least 12" long total and I think they'd look better shorter. The other point I'd mention is that the cable is quite long and you can't really recognize that there is a cable until you put them on.)

Easy - just start a thread in this part of the forum and let everybody know what you're suggesting.

From past experience, I'd suggest a type of pattern (eg fingerless gloves) rather than a specific pattern (eg Dashing) as it gives people the option of knitting something similar if there's something about a specific pattern that they don't like._________________
